Startiing box 3
I finished box 4 in row 1 by adding glow in the dark beads in eerie gray. Next I filled in the background of box 3 with horizontal double brick stitch using Neon Rays + 83. The mouth is tent stitched with Neon Rays ++ 74 and 80. The mouth is padded satin stitches and long stitches in Neon Rays 119.

Finished
Boooo! is finished. I added glow in the dark beads too. One photo is showing some of the hints of green but it needs to be darker for the full effect!

Zipping along
The inner orange border is done and I have started the black background. Stormy today and working on black is a bit harder.

The last thing
I was waiting for my spiders and they came in the mail. Drink #2 is finished and so the whole canvas is completed!

Another one framed
I added more glow in the dark background so this Trick or Treat by My Pink Sugar Life would fit in this frame we found at Home Goods. Love the skulls!

Progress
I stitched more blue around the first drink and then finished the orange and black squares above the Pick your Poison. I then did the rest of the left border in the squares instead of as painted.

Here and there
I finished the solid orange border around the top, I started the orange and black squares above the words and then added some more of blue background on the left.
Thursday, September 25, 2025
There!
Ripped the orange border and have started using satin stitches instead. Worked on more of the blue too.

Blooper
So I worked a bit more of the blue background and then moved back to the outside border doing scotch stitches over 4 but unfortunately,
I can't count and it doesn't fit. I would end up with two threads left and I don't want a partial stitch. So I will be ripping the
orange stitches.

Two views
I completed the blue border all the way around and then added a few rows of the blue inside background using the same stitch and thread as the inner border. I did two shots so you can see the stitch.

Let's start another project!
This is the next project! Pick your Poison is by Pepperberry Designs. It is a 7 x 16 design on 13 count. I purchased it and these threads from The Wool & The Floss as they are having a trunk show of Pepperberry Designs! I will start figuring out some fun stitches.
